Prime Movers

Sad news of a friend passing. He made the world a more exciting place (Just look at him!). If there's a place where we all jam together after we leave here, our man Joe is first in line. It'll be an all-nighter! 🎤❤️❤️🎗

August 2, 1957 — February 7, 2024
Mojo Nixon
How you live is
how you should die.
Mojo Nixon was full-tilt, wide-open
rock hard, root hog, corner on two wheels + on fire…

Passing after a blazing show, a raging night, closing the bar, taking no prisoners
+ a good breakfast with bandmates and friends.
A cardiac event on the Outlaw Country Cruise is about right… & that’s just how he did it.

Mojo has left the building.
Since Elvis is everywhere, we know he was waiting for him in the alley out back.
Heaven help us all.

NEW REISSUE RELEASE ALERT!
Lovingly re-mastered by Doug Schwartz, one of the original engineers on the project, and available for the first time in high resolution digital download, this breakthrough EP includes our Top 40 UK hit "On The Trail" and the US single "Strong As I Am" (as featured in Michael Mann's classic film Manhunter). And if that's not enough, there's the beautiful Tijuana liquor store inspired instrumental "Kahlua House." (Bet you didn't know that.) The pairing of producer Chris Tsangarides, known mostly for his success with metal bands, seemed oddball on paper. But in the end, we think it worked out quite well! What's your favorite song from this EP?
